Simply Dread! Fergie and Hucknall holding back the tears after late Fulham equaliser

The situation at Old Trafford has been verging on desperate since Sir Alex Ferguson's departure, and the 72-year-old feels it just as much as any fan.

Beside Simply Red singer Mick Hucknall, the Scot looked on as United scored twice in a couple minutes to reverse the score to 2-1 during Sunday afternoon's clash with Fulham.

But the mood soon changed, with both Fergie and Hucknall looking unimpressed after Darren Bent's heart-wrenching equaliser in the dying moments.

Manager David Moyes cut a similar figure on the touchline after the final whistle, but insists his side completely deserved to win the game.

'They [Fulham] didn’t deserve it,' he told Sky Sports. 'It’s been like that quite often this season, where we’ve not got an early goal, ended up chasing game, we totally deserved it, we deserved to win the game and get the three points.'
